Monster scart cable in Comet @ £120.
Are they really that good,or is it clever sales hype?
They had one connected up to a 42" Pioneer plasma and the picture was awesome,but how much of that is the lead?

No scart lead is worth £120... I got all mine from www.cableuniverse.co.uk and the quality is excellent.

The cable screaning and resistivity/capacitance is no better than most, and the gold plating makes barely any difference. All soldered up in a far eastern sweat shop for ultimate quality
Seriously, budget for £25 and you won't go far wrong. Or failing that buy your own decent quality cable and connectors and build your own - which will far surpass anything you'll ever buy.

I once bought a Monster Scart to S video Cable and it made a big improvment to the picture , although QED cables get better reviews .
